Sometimes we accidentally lock ourselves in rooms or maybe the terrace and end up panicking. This TikToker (@voss_maggie) posted a video of her getting trapped on the roof but did something unexpected. Many viewers whimsically commented on her video that she flipped "The Hangover" movie plot and if Doug could use his phone he could have easily escaped the troubles. The video starts with Mags telling the viewers how she is stuck on the roof and is not thinking of bothering the cops or her landlord. Instead, she ordered a burrito from Uber Eats and mentioned instructions in her order that could let her out. The video gave a new idea to beginners in New York and amassed huge traction with 1.7 million likes and 101.4k shares.

She continues in the video by saying, "Um, I put in the instructions that you have to just buzz every apartment until someone lets you in and then come up to the roof and let me out". And it worked bam! The next slide shows the Uber Eats delivery guy unlocking the door and taking her out and at last, she is seen eating a burrito on her sofa safely in her apartment.

Viewers on TikTok are stunned by her move and call her pretty smart for taking up the bold call. Some others diligently asked her to that whether she rewarded the delivery guy with an attractive tip and a five-star rating.
